Children Photography

Because childhood is pure magic.

Children grow and change so quickly — one minute they’re toddling, the next they’re running ahead, full of stories and giggles. These fleeting years deserve to be remembered in all their wonder.

📸 Playful, natural, and full of heart.

My children’s photography sessions are all about capturing their real personalities — the cheeky smiles, the curious looks, the joy that shines through when they’re free to just be themselves.

No forced smiles. No posing pressure. Just fun, laughter, and honest moments that show exactly who they are right now.

🌿 The Experience

My goal is to make every session a little adventure — relaxed, fun, and full of imagination.

Children don’t have to “sit still” or “behave perfectly” — I promise, the best photos happen when they forget the camera is even there.

🏡 Studio or Outdoor Options

Studio sessions (in Melrose) are perfect for little ones who love comfort and calm. Soft light, neutral backdrops, and plenty of room to play.
Outdoor sessions are ideal for curious adventurers — exploring fields near Galashiels, forests around Selkirk, or open spaces near Hawick.

🎂 Cake Smash & First Birthday Sessions

Your baby’s first birthday is such a special moment — full of personality, smiles, and (a little bit of) frosting!

Cake smash sessions are joyful, messy, and full of laughter — the perfect way to celebrate turning one.

Each setup is styled simply and beautifully — soft tones, natural textures, and a focus on your baby’s unique personality.

You’re welcome to bring your own cake, outfit, or theme ideas, or I can help you plan something timeless and minimal.
